CIRCOLO DEI LETTORI
10:00 AM
Scientists have been increasingly called upon to talk about themselves and their research in response to multimedia inquisitiveness. But directly or indirectly and by which means of communication depends on the researcher’s personal attitudes, the field of science where he or she works, and academic policies.
This event, first held during CinemAmbiente 2022, is devoted to scientists who have engaged in the popularization of science through films, books, or podcasts. Taking part in the event will be the winners of the Aldo Fasolo award for the popularization of neuroscience, promoted by the doctoral program in neuroscience, University of Torino, in collaboration with the Associazione InToBrain, addressed to scientists around the country.
A round table discussion will be held by members of the award jury panel, the award winners, their colleagues, and experts who devote a major part of their work to the popularization of science.
The debate will be presented and moderated by Giulia Alice Fornaro, editorial office of FRIdA (Area Valorizzazione Ricerca e Impatto e Public Engagement dell’Università di Torino), a communication workshop that promotes participation in research in science and the humanities.
